Teaming software for NIC on Windows 2008
Refer to attached : IBM gave me this NetXtreme software to
do teaming / bonding of NIC on our newly purchased x3650
& x3850 servers which comes with Broadcom NIC
However, we have other x3650 & x3850 which come with
Intel NIC.
Q1:
Can I use the same software to do teaming? It detects
Intel NICs too. If not, kindly point me to a url / link to
download the relevant teaming software for Intel NIC
(Gigabit Quad port)
Q2:
If I don't use any of these software, is it possible to do
NIC teaming using Windows 2008 R2 (Standard &
Enterprise), ie is there a native WIndows 2008 feature
to do teaming / bonding ?

An IBM field engr told me that if I have only Intel NIC cards on
our x3650 and x3850 servers (running Win 2008), we don't need
to use any teaming software as Win 2008 OS itself can team them.
Is that so? If so pls provide the link that show step by step on how
to do the Intel NIC ports teaming
